The National Philanthropy of Sigma Nu Omega is of an all inclusive and affirming nature that discourages discrimination of any kind. Starting in 2007, Sigma Nu Omega Sorority, Inc. plans to focus on making monetary donations, fundraised by our organization, to other organizations that contributes to growth and uplifting the community.
On a local level, Sigma Nu Omega donates time through hours of community service. The organizations vary from state to state.

What type of community service does Sigma Nu Omega Sorority, Inc. provide?
Sigma Nu Omega Sorority, Inc. provides a variety of services revolving around our Philanthropy.
Do Sigma's step?
Yes. As does most Sororities and Fraternities we are currently in the process of forming a step team.
Do I have to be in college to become a member?
Currently you do not have to be in college to become a member of Sigma.
What type of commitment is required of each member?
The biggest commitment required of each member is time, and really, that commitment is not that big. We require that each sister commits 4 hours a month for community service. If at all possible this service has to be done with a group effort. Although we have other events such as socials and informationals, community service along with fundraiser activities are the most important. Please realize that our organization is committed to service...that's just what we do. If you feel that you can't make that commitment then it may not be a good idea to become a Sigma Sister.
The other big commitment is your membership dues.
Membership dues are paid once per year and assists with helping the organization run. To have a sorority, there are many things that need to be paid for like printing fees, money to purchase fundraising items, national and local event venues, programs, catering and our website!
